After winning his first title at Estoril last week, Roger almost lost today at his first play in Monte Carlo second round. He play Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo. He almost lost after trail 1-5 in third set after splitting sets one-one. Thank God, he string enough good point to charge back and win the next 5 games to lead 6-5. Ruben still managed to forced a tie break 6-6. But maybe he already lost his confidence so close to beat Roger, he lost tamely in tie break 1-7. YES!!!!!! I feel like I wanted to turn off the scoreline when roger trail 1-5 cause it was almost impossible to rally. But Roger did it. I just hope he play better with less errors when he play Gael Monfils next cause Monfils play pretty good in clay. What do you think? Are Roger still exhasuted from his play last week in estoril after playing a whole wek there and now had to play at Monte Carlo?

Actually I hope someone will come out to challenge Roger in 2008. Will Novark play this role? Or Raphael? I really appreciate Novark.

I do think this year will be Roger toughest year yet. He didnot play as good as he did. But who can? He already play incredible well for more than 5 years. But I do hope he can retain his number one position in the end of 2008.

If a person should be number one(not federer) it should be Novak Djokovic. He plays great tennis. I like his playing style.
